Hi,

I have a simple question. I would like to summarize a root variable inside a section, but it works only outside the section:

{let sum_count=0}
{set sum_count=sum(1,$#sum_count)}
{$#sum_count}
{/let}

It works fine, but if i put it inside a section:

{let sum_count=0}
{section name=Folder loop=fetch(content,list_count,...}
{set sum_count=sum(1,$#sum_count)}
{$#sum_count}
{/section}
{/let}

It doesn't work. How can i setting root namespace variable?

Setting variables in other namespaces than the current is not supported yet.

You can however move the namespace from the section to the let to achieve the same effect.

{let name=Folder sum_count=0}
{section loop=fetch(content,list_count,...}
{set sum_count=sum(1,$#sum_count)}
{$#sum_count}
{/section}
{/let}

Thanks, It worked (however i had to change $#sum_count to $:sum_count).
